ID' mm UlDCDDQ This Is United Natloni Day. the 11th anniversary of the founding of this organization dedicated to pre ferring the peace of the world and promoting fundamental freedoms among all mankind. The past year has been a busy one for United Nations in its principal duty of freventing the outbreak of wars, n the early part of 1956 friction along the Israel border threatened to burst in flame. Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold made a trip to the Middle East and ob tained a renewal of pledges to ob serve the truce pledges which hava been ill kept in recent weeks. The late summer crisis over the Sues Canal seizure by Egypt fi nal'y- was allayed by shunting the controversy to the U. N. Security Council where it is now uneasily lodged. In both these cases United Nations effected no settlement: but thus . far organized warfare has been averted. While one may nut say that the UN alone acconv pushed this, two facts stand out, one that the U.N. is an interna tional agency to which such dis putes may be referred, and second that U.N. has functioned within the limits of its capacity. United Nations by its existence stands as a block on any road to war. In the year ahead United Na . tions will face up with numerous problems. The General Assembly is due to meet on Nov. 24th well after the U.S. elections. That body now will have delegations from (CoMiaoed ea editorial page, 4) Clouds Due; Valley Points Count Snow Crisp autumn weather with cloud-painted skies will continue today and Thursday, McNary Field weathermen said.

Khrushchev Gives His Blessing to New Regime in Poland By COLIN FROST WARSAW. Oct. 23 Wl -Nikita Khrushchev has lifted the Soviet military pressure from rebellious Poland and accepted most of the new Polish socialism-with-freedom policy,. . reliable sources reported tonight. The sources said Soviet troops concentrations built up In central Poland during the crisis are dis persing. A Russian naval squad ron sighted off Poland s Baltic coast has withdrawn. An authoritative source said Polish-Soviet relations improved dra matically this afternoon with a telephone call from the Kremlin to Wladyslaw Gomulka, pew first secretary of the Polish Communist party. The caller was Soviet Commu nist party boss Khrushchev and he was making a complete climb down, the informant said. He gave this version: Khrushchev told Gomulka that with some slight reservations he accepted the new Polish Socialist policy. He apologized for an at tack by Pravda, the Soviet Com munist organ, on the Polish press. The Pravda attack was one cause of ill-feeling. Khrushchev said that Pravda within the nextday or so will print a virtual retraction. The source added that Gomulka and Premier Josef Cyrankiewicz will go to Moscow this week, prob ably Friday. They will talk with the Soviet party Presidum Polit buro. The discussions are expected to end with a joint declaration simi lar to that with which Khrushchev patched up Moscow's quarrel with President Tito, of Yugoslavia. The Soviet Communist boss ap parently yielded in the face of waves of bitter anti-Soviet dem onstrations inside Poland and warnings from the Polish govern ment that his policies might lead to a bloody uprising. Popular demands to rout Soviet influence and punish those who imposed Stalin's will poured in on the Polish government. One key Soviet man in Poland, Marshal Konstantin Rokor vsky, attended the opening session of the Polish Parliament. Rokossov sky's position as defense minister has been the cause M much spec ulation since he was dismissed from the Politburo. Joyous workers and students blew off anti-Russian steam in wild demonstrations in three ma jor cities last night, and new sup port for the bloodless revolt against Moscow's political domi nation, and Moscow's chief repre sentative in the ministry. Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, seemed scheduled for dismissal eventually. , These were' developments: 1. Popular demonstrations erupted in three cities, and eye witness reports said the celebra tions were defiantly anti-Russian. 1 A mass rally of Polish air force personnel in Warsaw linked the airmen with other Polish mili tary men in support of the new re gime of Wladyslaw Gomulka, now the party boss. 3. The prosecutor general or- dered revision of all Indictments resulting from the June 2 "bread and freedom" riots in Poznan. Ha moved to have the courts release all persons held as a result of the riots, unless they were charged with murder or robbery. .. . 4. Gen.

Stevenson tonight called for help for Poland's bid for freedom from Russian con trol and again urged the United States to take the lead in "curbing this ghastly killer," the H-bomb. The Democratic presidential nominee started 'the final two weeks of his campaign with an appearance in Madison Square Garden. It was the first speech in a nonstop drive aimed chiefly at swinging big city votes. Stevenson expressed the opinion the "decisive days" of the political battle lie ahead. And he said the United States should be prepared to join other nations in offering economic aid to Poland. (Add. details oa page II) By FRANK CAREY AP Science Tteporter WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 I President Eisenhower disclosed today that of all tests of atomic weapons or "devices" conducted by this country since 1954 , 20 per cent one in every five have involved thermonuclear H-bomb designs. It was the first official disclosure of the scope of testing in the "high yield" weapons field. The figures were disclosed in a memorandum prepared by execu tive branch officials presumably the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Department and released by the President. Relating that 13 test series have been conducted by this country dating from the first test in New Mexico in 1945, the memorandum said: "Of the shots in the several series, . approximately 20 per cent have been of high yield thermonu clear designs and 80 per cent of fission devices." Less Materials The memorandum also declared, among other things, that 1. the United States has steadily learned how to make weapons using less material than preceding designs; 2. Learned to make designs "of smaller configuration and lighter weight" than others presumably for use as tactical weapons on the battlefield; and 3. learned to make weapons having "high yield" in terms of energy release but low production of fission products that is, the products that con stitute radioactive fall-out. On the later development, the memorandum added: "The successful attainment of this objective will make it possible for us to have weapons with great ly reduced radiological hazard-fall-out." Other Points Among other major points of fered in the memorandum were these: 1. The United States system for long-range detection of atomic and hydrogen bomb tests by other nations "can not insure the detec tion of every test irrespective of size, location, or type and compo sition of the weapon tested. President Eisenhower, in a sep arate statement of his own, refer ring to tests of "very large weap ons," said, "We believe we have detected practically all such tests to date." Salem Girl Flees Into Reno Snowstorm After Verdict in Custody Suit A 9 year-old Salem girl fled coatless into a snowstorm from a Reno courtroom Tuesday after a judge denied her father's re quest for full custody. Object of a widespread police search, she was still missing late Tuesday night, more than eight hours after her disappearance, according to Associated, Press. Protected from the cold only by a red sweater aad black skirt, little Karen Heavy, daughter of Mrs. Nathalie Wacker, 2215 Chemeketa St., raced from the building when the judge read aa rder returning her to her mother. , Mrs. Wacker and her son, Lar ry, 14, had gone with friends, Mr. and Mrs. John Roth of Salem Rt. 6, to attend the court hear ings in Reno. Karea was to be a fourth grad er at Richmond School this year but she attended Grant School before her mother bought her present home last winter, accord ing to Mrs. Neta Edwards, 1299 N. Winter St., a former neighbor. Mrs. Wacker and her two chil dren moved to Salem about four years ago, she estimated. Karen is "a sweet girl but very nervous," she said. Karen had been visiting her father. Thomas Henry, 41-year- old hotel main' tenance engi in Reno, al though Mrs. Wacker had been awarded fall custody this summer, friends in Sa lem said. Pre viously, Mrs. Wacker had custody nine months and Karoo Henry Henvy three months a year, they said. Mrs. Wacker's first husband, Larry's father, was killed in World War II but she resumed his name on her divorce from Henvy. Employed for some time as a saleswoman at Roberts Brothers, she recently accepted a similar position at Meier k Frank. 6V Morse Backs Adlai's Policy on H-Test Ban By THOMAS G. WRIGHT JR. Staff Writer, The Statesman Full support to Adlai Stevenson's campaign against further H-bomb testing came Tuesday from Sen. Wayne I Morse, in Salrm for a foreign policy speech to students of Willamette University. "Stevenson is 100 per cent right," said Morse, who is cam paigning for reelection against Republican Douglas NlcKay. There is no further need of testing the bomb works," he said, adding that "we are losing prestige in Asia because of the bomb tests. His suggestion offers the House Number Plan to Jumble Geography, Confuse Compass Br ROBERT E. GANGWARE City Editor, The Statesman Whether the new geographic area designations for Salem area streets turn out to be prefixes or suffixes, Salem Planning Commission mem bers agree there's a lot of detail to settle before getting the new house numbering plan into effect next year.

Either way, some of the new street signs, (or addresses) are bound to occasion double-takes at first. According to the suffix plan it would be, for example, South St. NE (near Hollywood) or, more appropriately, East St. NE (near North High) and West Way NW (near Orchard Heights). Some "states" would be misplac ed either by prefix or suffix: Georgia Ave. NE and Connecticut Ave. SE. But it fits with Maine Ave. NE.

(Add. details an Page 2) By STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (AP)-President Eisenhower said tonight that "for the sake of peace itself" America must con tinue its hydrogen bomb tests until securely guarded interna tional agreements make it safe to end them. Eisenhower, In detail, rejected the arguments advanced by Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic presi dential candidate, for taking steps now to end the H-bomb explosions. We must continue. , .' Eisen hower said, "to develop our strength in the most advanced weapons for the sake of our own national safety for the sake of all free nations, for the sake of peace itself. "There is nothing In postwar history to justify the belief that we should or that we could even dare to accept anything less than sound safeguards and controls for any disarmament arrangements. Eisenhower asserted that in the last two years Russia "has. re jected no less than II American proposals on disarmament and controls of nuclear weapons." For America to suiptad its work on the H-bomb, he said, would mean "we could find our present commanding lead in nu clear weapons erased or even re versed."' ' : ..: The President's statement ac companied and summarized a re port drawn up on Eisenhower's orders by Secretary of Defense Wilson, Secretary of States Dulles and Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission. The Eisenhower statement said American would never cease striv ina for "a system of dependable controls governing disarmament." He said: . , "I remain profoundly hopeful that if we stay strong and stead fast the reality of significant world disarmament win come to oass. Some of Eisenhower s major points upholding continuance of H-bomb tests: u '.,:- -. WAR DETERRENT "Tha pow er of these nuclear-weapons to deter aggression and to guard world peace would be lost if we failed to hold our superiority in these weapons. FALL-OUT "The most recent tests enable us to harness and dis cipline our weapons more precise ly and effectively drastically re ducing their fall-out and making them more easy to concentrate, if ever used, upon military objee tives." . DETECTION - "We believe we have detected practically all such tests to date. V. 8. NUCLEAR.
